The Great Wall of Kaiwaka

This teeny tiny, itsy bitsy bit of landscap-

ing undertaken by Ilia and Eva Petro of

La Nonna Italian Bakery is there so Kai-

waka doesn‘t slip away! (Just kidding!)

The 24 metre long wall is held in place by

several 7-8 metre posts, 4 mtrs into the

ground and offers a great rural view. The

Council said it was one of the biggest

engineering projects in Kaiwaka for

years. Ilia and Eva wish to thank the local

contractors who worked so hard: Mike

Lean and his team; Mark Hodgetts; Dave

Hyndman; Phil Keen; Craig Mitchelson;

Absolute Concrete and Paul Greig. With a BIG thank you to Brian McClean who

gave his permission to open up the view across his farmland and allowed access

to all the diggers etc., needed to complete this awesome project. If you haven‘t

already stood at the safe viewing platform (see circle above) and admired the

view, you should. It‘s between the Italian Bakery and the Council building. AJ

If you haven‘t completed

your census forms, there is

still time to do them online

or on paper, and it IS com-

pulsory. General Manager

of the 2013 Census Carol Slappendel

said. ―The census website is still opera-

tional and online forms are still coming

in. If you don‘t have your paper forms

and Internet Access Code, please con-

tact 0800 CENSUS (0800 236 787)

The information collected is hugely

important, as it‘s used for health, edu-

cation and transport decisions.‖ For

ZONTA CLUB HONOURS

LOCAL VOLUNTEER

Once again this year on March 8th,

International Women‘s Day, the Zonta

Club of Mangawhai celebrated Yellow

Rose Day by honouring a local woman

who has made a significant contribution to

the local community. This year‘s recip-

ient was Milly O’Leary, founder and

organiser of the St John Opportunity Shop

in Kaiwaka.

The O‘Leary‘s son was a sufferer of severe

bronchial asthma, so the family had many occasions when they used the services

of St John. Milly was determined that one day she would give back to the ser-

vice, so after their son‘s death seven years ago and once she and her husband had

retired, Milly approached St John and set up the Op Shop in Kaiwaka two and a

half years ago. In the first year they had a turnover of $22,000 and have a band

of 6-7 volunteers. The success of the shop is a testament to Milly‘s organisation-

al skills, sheer hard work and determination, but it is her warm, generous person-

ality and welcoming smile that are so distinctive and memorable.

Milly was honoured at a breakfast at Harvest Café in Mangawhai, on Friday 8th

March and was joined by whanau, friends and fellow St John volunteers from

around the Kaipara District.

BIG congratulations to Milly from the Kaiwaka Bugle Team.

Kaiwaka St John Op Shop is open from Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 4pm

and on Saturday from 10am to 1pm. More volunteers are needed, especially

strong men for moving furniture! Contact Milly on 4312423 or 022 3812233 if

you can help.

Thank you from Milly: ―I would like

to thank the ladies who came to sup-

port me at the International Women’s

Day Breakfast. I was really honoured

to have so many people get out of bed

so early just for me! To my ladies from

work, Denise, Melissa, Jude and some

of the staff from Mangawhai Op Shop,

my whanau Martha, Wi John, Gregory,

Jeanette and several other ladies whom

I didn‘t know, thank you all very

much. To Carolyn & Jude, who felt

that I was worthy of being chosen as

the recipient of the ―Yellow Rose Day

Award‖ a very special thanks. To Ste-

phen and his members of St John, it

was great to have you there; and to my

husband, Ray, for being there as al-

ways.‖

Milly O’Leary, St John Op Shop

Dear Parents and Caregivers

The most important value we can promote is that of respect. Respect is

something that you have to give to get back. This means we all have to take a risk. The
risk of giving respect to others even if we feel they have not respected us. For us at
school, it means teaching students what that respect looks like. It can be as simple as
using words like please, thank you or excuse me. It can be more complex, such as how
to negotiate the difficult waters of adolescent relationships. One thing we can be certain
of is that we will suffer little damage to ourselves if we are nice to people.

I had a delegation of two students from the student council come to see me the other
day. I was impressed by their honesty and maturity. They had come to give an honest
assessment of several issues that had been observed around the school. Their sugges-
tion of possible solutions and their willingness to pursue those themselves indicated to
me a very mature approach and this is what impressed me.

Coming events are Northland Athletics, The Special Olympics, the social science Bay of
Islands trip and visit to Ruapekapeka and the fundraising social for the Japan trip. On the
15 March there will also be a large contingent of staff and students involved in the can-
cer relay for life in Whangarei. Congratulations to Miss Kingsford for sacrificing her hair
for the cause.

Roy Fletcher, Acting Principal

Why in the world would anyone ever shave off their hair?

When I walked into our gym I thought we were having an ordinary Arawa assembly, but
then I saw the chair and hair shaver and knew something was different. My mind asked,
‘why in the world would anyone shave off their hair?’ By the time I left, my attitude had
completely changed and I understood why Miss Kingsford did what she did and I am
proud of her for being thoughtful.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s only hair and it will just grow back,” she said.

She told us she was having her hair cut off because she wants to help people that have
cancer to have another chance to live. I found it very touching and saw some people
were crying a little bit when she said that.
Our teacher is truly awesome. By Mya Lawrence, 7S

Aviation Academy News

The day started with an email from one of the Otamatea Aviation Academy members,
"The weather does not look the best. Is the flying still on?“  The morning cleared and at
1.00pm on Sunday afternoon, three members of the Otamatea Aviation Academy gath-
ered at the Otamatea Aero Club's airfield, Ruawai.
The fourth was lucky enough to have won the privilege of flying from Omaha to Ruawhai
in Mr. Morrison's vintage Auster aircraft and arrived in style.
The opportunity to take their first flying lesson came about through the wonderful help of
Mark Ottaway, Steven Jaques, and the Kaiwaka Sports Association who have made the
funds available.
Murray Hargreaves is the Flight Instructor and each Academy Member was treated to
their introduction to the "Effects of Controls" in the Club’s Alpi Pioneer aircraft.  It was
very easy to see the sense of achievement and enjoyment that each Academy Member
gained as the cockpit hood was raised after each flight.  Smiles as big as they get with
excited talk of what had been done. During the afternoon, the budding pilots were treat-
ed to a flight in the Vintage Auster, and experienced what flying an aircraft of
"Yesteryear" is like.

So the word has spread, and permission
forms from the other Academy
Members are now being handed in. The
funding will allow a second flight in
the coming weeks.
Progress on the building of the Cubflyer
is excellent. The fuselage is close to
being completed and the wings have
been started. The rudder and fin have
taken shape with the undercarriage in
the final stage of welding.

Lupton and Instructor Murray Hargreaves

The WW2 Auster has also made great progress under the watchful eye of
John Melville. It had been straightened, sand blasted, and the undercoat sprayed on. The
fitting out is underway and the path on the long road back to flying has begun.

Congratulations to Melissa Watts who runs our junior netball club. Melissa was

with matches played on Saturday mornings at Port Albert. Boys and girls of all
ages who are interested in playing soccer this season are encouraged to attend this
Rally Day.

Senior Rugby

Northlands drought was evident at the Hawks pre-season match against Glenfield,
as the very hard ground meant several injuries for the players. Ex-All Black Wal-
ter Little was at the Complex supporting his Glenfield side - he must have gone
away happy as not only did his side win both matches, but he also won the meat
pack raffle!

not received a registration form for the reunion to be held on Friday 19

are approaching. The last of our

$1 Bag of Clothes Sale is now finished

and we will now be hanging

out more good clothes. We are in need

of blankets, doggie blankets,

towels, shoes, rugs, mats, crockery fruit,

veges, and anything in saleable condi-

tion. DON‘T be offended when we ask

you if the clothes you bring in have

been washed. We get caught out so

many times if we can‘t check clothing

while we are busy. It‘s nothing to re-

ceive many bags with clothes that are

stained, ripped, smelly and simply

brought to us solely to dispose of which

is a big cost to us. So please don‘t use

us as the dump, take it there yourself. I

KAIWAKA LIBRARY

It's almost time to start thinking about the next book swap - we'll be swapping

the Large Print and Audio books on Tuesday 30 April - that means we'll need

them all back the week before so they can be swapped for new ones. So, if you

haven't had a good look over those collections yet, now is the time

to do so before they disappear from the shelves - they'll be packed

away a bit ahead of time, as we need them all back for this swap.

Recently I've read The Black Echo by Michael Connelly. LAPD

homicide detective Harry Bosch is called to the discovery of a body

in a pipe at Mulholland Dam. Just another homeless person, it

seems, until Harry realises the man is a former Army tunnel rat like

him, a buddy from his days in Vietnam. The investigation takes him

to the FBI, who are also looking at the guy in connection to a bank robbery

where access was gained through a tunnel. Teaming up with Special Agent Elea-

nor Wish, they investigate the situation. But someone on the inside is on the

wrong side, which complicates things... I picked up this book because the author

is popular with several library members, and was not disappointed. I'll be look-

ing out for more titles - we have many on our shelves. This book is on the Rental

Fiction shelves in the library.

Elizabeth has been listening to Footprints in the Sand by Sarah

Challis. When Emily Kingsley arrives at the church for her eccen-

tric Great Aunt Mary's funeral, she is still grieving for her broken

relationship with the mean and unfaithful Ted, and has little sor-

row to spare. At the wake afterwards, however, she and her cousin

Clemmie learn the contents of Mary's will. Clemmie is thrilled at

the chance of adventure. Emily is not. With immense reluctance,

she agrees to travel to Mali. Why Mary wanted her ashes scattered

there she cannot imagine, and the thought of a hot, pointless trip is almost too

much to bear. But they must complete Mary's journey. This is a lovely, enter-

taining, and informative story. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the girls adven-

tures. This Playaway audio book is on the library shelves until late April.

Don't forget that it's free to join the library, you just need to bring two forms of

identification in with you - something with your name and signature on it, like a

driver's license or Community Services card, and a "proof of address" no more

than three months old, like a power or telephone bill or a letter/statement from

the bank - and complete an application form.

Anyone with access to the internet can search our library catalogue from the

comfort of their own home. Just go to the Kaipara District Council web site

(

kaipara.govt.nz

) and click on the link to the library at the bottom of the home

page, and follow through to the catalogue. Send me an email

(

kaiwaka.library@gmail.com

) if you're having difficulties with it.

See you in the library!

T.W.DOWSON,

KAIWAKA’S EARLY

SCRIBE

I was recently asked why I had not done

an article on one of Kaiwaka‘s most

noted European pioneers and there is a

reason why, that I will divulge later in

this jotting. In 1859, Dowson, along

with a partner J.D.Crombie, was granted

land at the end of Settlement Road

where it joined Pukenui Road, the acre-

age being 80, but no further mention is

made of Crombie. Dowson, who ar-

rived in N.Z. on the 10th February 1859

on the ―William Watson‖ along with the

Littin family, did not take up his land

immediately, but spent a year or so

building a Mission house in Fiji and

then spent some years in Coromandel.

In 1866 he arrived at Mangawai on the

same cutter as the Littin family when

both took over their claims, the Littins‘

also on Settlement Road. The Littins‘

had farmed at Otahuhu before taking up

their 80 acres. Thomas William Dow-

son soon saw that life was bleak as a

bachelor and so returned to Auckland

and married Emily Ann Turner, a doc-

tor‘s daughter, who was the governess

of the Alfred Buckland family, who

were leading Auctioneers in Auckland,

and gave the couple two heifers; a few

sheep were run, but it was building that

T.W. excelled in and he built a house

near where the railway line crosses

Pukenui Road, in which numerous chil-

dren were born. He must have had a bit

of money as he procured the timber for

his house from Coromandel and it is

stated in the Centennial of Kaiwaka

booklet that his, built in 1867, as well as

the Hastie and Ross houses, were the

first sawn timber houses in Kaiwaka,

which is strange when my great grand-

father had pit sawn timber and built his

house in 1862; perhaps it was not pre-

tentious enough. T.W. did a lot of com-

munity work, doing the census as well

as being a newspaper reporter, but it is

the work as secretary for the committee

that got the first Kaiwaka school under

way that he was renowned for, and

much correspondence to and from the

Central Board of Education in Auckland

bears his signature or name. As I once

said before, that as an Englishman

amongst a committee made up of Scots,

it was handed down that it was better to

have him doing all the writing rather

than have him do all the talking. T.W.

built the first school which was a com-

munity effort, T.W. giving his labour

free, Cameron and Thornton cutting the

timber at 10 shillings a 100 foot, while

Boyed split and supplied shingles at 10

shillings a 1000. A large picnic and

sports day was held at the opening of

the school on the 23rd May 1870, but

no teacher was found until the 11th No-

vember, with the first school day start-

ing on the 14th November. In 1872 the

building of a teacher‘s house was under-

taken, and with all timber supplied

Dowson undertook to build the house

for the sum of £15. In 1873 there must

have been a bit of a dust up as T.W.

handed in his resignation as secretary of

the school committee, but in 1874 he

and William Leslie, along with others

are elected to the Hakaru School com-

mittee after a rather acrimonious meet-

ing in the Hakaru School. T.W. eventu-

ally moved and took up land which has

originally been Reddy‘s and Cameron‘s

opposite the Caltex service station.

As I said before, I was a bit hesitant on

writing about T.W. as he and my great

grandfather, William, while they re-

spected each other, they did not always

see eye to eye. They called each other

Mr. Leslie and Mr. Dowson while talk-

ing to one another, but used different

names for each other when apart. On

one occasion a violent

outbreak happened when

T.W.‘s milking heifer went

dry caused by William‘s bull, and

T.W. did his block stating that as long

as he lived he would make sure no

Dowson would ever marry a Leslie,

and a 150 years later that has still not

happened. On another occasion T.W.

was building a barn/stables for Wil-

liam and saw William looking at his

work. T.W., who had a stooped back,

asked if the wall was straight enough

to which William replied, ―Aye, Mr

Dowson, it be as straight as ye own

cruicked back.‖ This barn, with its

axed mortices and high peaked roof to

keep the snow off was a great place to

play in when I was a child, and stood

for over 100 years, a great tribute to its

builder, T.W. Dowson.
